Cannot install ngrok-api and ngrok packages at the same time about ngrok-api-python

@acodeninja can you provide more context on why you are using both packages? Specifically interested in what you are using the ngrok-api package for.

Hi, thanks for taking a look @salilsub. The specific use case was for a Python app, live-questions.

The app hosts a flask application over an ngrok tunnel and presents a TUI app with a QR Code pointing to the ngrok domain.

I wanted to use this library to retrieve a list of ngrok domains for users to choose from. As a workaround I've used various subprocess.call instances to get the information needed from the ngrok CLI.

These calls are usually very fragile when working cross-os so I'd like to use both libraries. I also feel both the ngrok and ngrok-api packages should be capable of being installed at the same time.
